"Enough! How good was it for you to mention my past self to me?" William asked coldly, "In the past, I was indeed sick. The reason I spent 24 hours with Alice was because that way I could enjoy myself. Now that I have recovered, I don't need to do that, I can give her a normal love."
"So normal that Miss Alice wishes to cancel the engagement?"
Daniel asked.
"You!"
William's expression became even colder.
Daniel had become Alice's butler.
"Young Master, do you know how was Miss Alice doing these past four years? The media has exposed only the tip of an iceberg." Daniel said with a kind face and a gentle voice.
William stared at him coldly, but he was not as deaf as he used to be. He walked to the sofa and sat down again, and said: "Speak."
Indeed, he didn't ask Alice in detail how she had been these past few years.
"Yes." Daniel nodded and stood there as he
said, "Young Master, after you went missing, Miss Alice went to Italy. Her parents died, and she suffered a huge blow."
"I know that, I won't let Patrick enjoy the Brown Family's wealth for too long."
William said.
This time, he came back prepared to clean up everything. First, it was Mona, then it was Patrick.
"Then does young master know that the Miss Alice thought that you had already passed away and she conduct a hunger strike to follow you to heaven?"
William's body trembled.
"At that time, Miss Alice suffered continuous blows. When I saw her, she was already only a few dozen kilograms. She looked like a skeleton, that could be blown away by the wind." Daniel calmly narrated, "At that time, I thought that Miss Alice was dead for sure, but when she found out that you might still be alive, she desperately ate and struggled to live."
"At that time, Miss Alice's life was really too miserable. She was experiencing ups and downs. As a butler, I shouldn't have asked too much, but I really want to ask Young Master, why didn't you give Miss Alice any news in the past four years?" Daniel said.
Four years, no news at all.
"Young Master, have you thought that Miss Alice would not be able to make it?" Daniel asked, "If Miss Alice had really died four years ago, wouldn't you be regret?"
From start to end, William did not say a word, his face was gloomy as he listened.
"I don't know why Miss Alice broke the engagement, but she definitely has her reasons. For the past four years, I have accompanied Miss Alice at her side, guarding her for Young Master. I know best what kind of person she is. She dreamt everyday to be with you." Daniel said, "Young Master, since your return. Miss Alice has been waiting for you every day until midnight, she drew many pictures for you and make dishes for you everyday, and there is still ice-cream stored in the fridge. She also planned a bunch of trips."
"Painting?"
William was startled.
"Yeah, the paintings on one of the walls of the gallery will not be sold, because that is the place that she plans to go with you in the future." Daniel continued to speak, "Also, Miss Alice paints a lot of your portraits every year. When you came back, she immediately brought them all out, saying that you have changed, and she even noticed the shade of your eyebrows, and then painted a few new ones."
"She didn't tell me."
William said in a low voice, his eyebrows were slightly knitted, "She should have said it herself."
How would he know the paintings were for him?
If it was the past young master, he would have found out very quickly. But this time, he had only disappointed Alice.
Daniel secretly thought and did not say it.
"Go and get the painting for me." William instructed.
"Why don't you go get it yourself?"
Daniel asked.
William turned and looked at him coldly, "Just whose butler are you now?"
Daniel sighed helplessly, "Yes, Young Master, I will go get it."
"Hmm."
William replied coldly.
Daniel turned around and left as he shook his head helplessly. The previous young master couldn't wait to find all sorts of excuses to go see Alice.
William sat on the sofa, caressing the thin lip with his fingertips.
He wouldn't pester her like he did in the past. His methods were too disgusting and too disgraceful.
Isn't she just a woman?
He didn't believe that his current self could not be compared to his past self. He had to make Alice willingly accept his present self.
Otherwise, his treatment would have been in vain.
When Daniel took away her painting, she knew that he already knew how much she had sacrificed, and would take back her words.
Alice slept through the night, and on the second day, when she was just getting better, she started to find a lawyer, preparing to formally sue William for custody.
But in the whole city, no lawyer dared to take her case.
Alice stayed in the gallery and started to look for a lawyer online. Some of the people beside her were staring at her.
"Alice, you are awesome! Having waited for exactly four years, and in less than a month, you dared to abandon president William! You are my idol! Come. Tell me the story behind the scene. Even I read the news, I was gossiping like crazy."
Anna sat on the other side of the table, supporting her head with both hands, and stared straight at Alice.
She wore a mask and rolled her eyes at Anna, "If you have free time, why don't you find a good lawyer for me?"
She desperately needed a lawyer, and Anna had a good network.
"How can that be? You guys are already very busy."
Alice was unwilling.
"You can rest assured now that I've brought the MR Palace with me, right?" Anna said enthusiastically, "Us two adults plus a robot will do nothing but taking care of the three children, it's decided!"
Alice was extremely touched, she immediately extended her hands out to her and said, "Anna, it's good to have you."
"Hurry up and sleep, you have to be a strong girl."
Anna stooped down and hugged her, then left.
Alice lay on the bed. Her head was dizzy and in pain, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
She had to take care of herself, or else she wouldn't be able to do anything.
This time, Alice slept really soundly, and had all kinds of strange dreams. She dreamed that Kathy was married, and that she was still fighting for custody with William.
"Ahem."
Alice coughed and woke up in a daze. The room was already dark.
It was already dark.
She had slept long enough.
Alice's brain was clearer, but she was still weak, her hands pressed on the bed, trying to support her body.
Suddenly, there was a sound in the darkness.
She subconsciously looked up and saw a pair of eyes.
"Ah! Who is it?"
Alice screamed in shock as she instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
The eyes stared at her.
Alice inhaled a breath of cold air, extended her hand out to the side to turn on the light.
When the lights were turned on, the room was immediately filled with intense light. She looked over in fright to see William standing in front of her bed, wearing a black jacket with his hands in his pockets, expressionlessly staring at her.
Seeing that it was William, Alice heaved a sigh of relief, then became cold: "Why are you here? How did you get in? "
"Daniel has the key."
William's voice was even colder than her, "The question you asked was very strange, could it be that I, William, am capable of slamming doors and climbing windows? You miss the past William again."
He used to do that.
